Gallery 32

Gallery 32 is a gem of a Ripon stop for dog owners who like their town wanders with a side of art and a bit of creative energy. This artist-run contemporary gallery on Kirkgate showcases collective exhibitions and work by artists, which makes it a lovely little browse when the pace has slowed and the dog is in sensible companion mode.

It feels more personal than a generic gallery visit, with that independent spirit that suits Ripon nicely. For visitors with dogs, it adds a thoughtful, slightly different stop to the day and works beautifully when the humans want to look at something inspiring without losing the relaxed holiday rhythm. Calm, colourful and very easy to linger in.
